Despite rumors that he could return to FC
Dallas for another season, it was announced today that
midfielder Julian
de Guzman has joined German second division side SSV
Jahn Regensburg through the remainder of its current
campaign.

The 31-year-old Canadian international heads back to Germany, where
he started his professional career after a stint at Olympique
Marseille's youth system, after ending 2012 with FC Dallas of Major
League Soccer. De Guzman was traded to the Texas outfit in July of
last year by Toronto FC, with whom he had signed as the club's
first ever Designated Player back in September 2009.

In four seasons with TFC, he made 93 appearances in all
competitions, scoring three times. With FC Dallas, he featured 12
times with one goal.

Jahn Regensburg will be de Guzman's third European club since he
made his pro debut in 2000, with the Toronto native having
previously played for Bundesliga outfit Hannover 96 and Spanish
side Deportivo La Coruna. Follow GOAL.COM CANADA on
